Cincinnati Master 1000

Most of the times I actually root for Nadal not only he loses but also plays like crap.

Then you should root for him more often. Not sure if there's ever been a match I've wanted Ralphie to win. It's always a joy when he gets bombed like last night.

 

[The Strokes]

I don't think Kyrgios played great but definitely he didn't want to lose that oportunity that Rafa was given to him and I don't blame him but his problem is when his opponent plays well and he can see he can't do too much to avoid it then he likes to start with the show, his hip, the trainer, his shoulder etc etc. Come on, I think his "performances" are already too known. We'll see he will act against Ferru.......

I hope we see it!

It was a total crap performance by Nadal for sure. i actually got angry with him for how he was playing.

Yep, it happens to me too, it's always a joy when Roger gets bombed like last week

Bad girl! Fed upsets are the creme de la creme of shadenfreude. But he was injured (it seems!) so really not so delicious. Now I only have Nick left to give me that variety of pleasure. Your comments on Nick are now making me wonder how his hip ... I had sympathy for him against AZ when he got slaughtered recently. Now I wonder ...
Dimi is the only one left I really like to watch. Isner is doing the usual servebot thing to him. I don't like big servers, though John is a likable guy

I've never said it was delicious... just enjoyable
Anyway, look what Zverev Thiem and Kyrgios have said when Rafa became #1 again

 

[The Strokes]

Yeah, "delicious" should be reserved for Rafa beating Fed, or someone truly likable beating a healthy Fed.

and yes--I saw that vdo, Nick called Rafa the GOAT (!!!!!) I wondered if that was made two days ago when Nick knew he was going to play Rafa (and win) so he could say he beat the greatest of all time.
I was surprised Nick said that Because I know his idol is Fed.

Well Dimi took the 1rst set. If Dimi and Nick both win, the final should be a good one. We need at least that--a good final for a change.

Kyrgios is like John McEnroe, both changes the idea about who is the greatest depending what is going on

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

One would expect John Isner to win tie-breakers, as many as he plays.
Big John lost the first set tie-breaker. Grigor is a set away from the final.

He was injured, wasn't moving for balls and serving like a WTA player. If he won it would have been a miracle.

Yeah, I've heard Mac change his mind about 5 times on that subject.

 

[The Strokes]

Well done Dimi.
That was a good match, and a great final TB.
I think Dimi can beat Nick. Bout time Dimi got something ...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Hard to believe this is Grigor's first 1000 final. Congrats I guess...

 

[Moxie]

Cahill says that anyone who calls Ferrer a pusher doesn't know tennis. So there. :devilfinger::lulz2:

If you have said that once you rooted for the guy it would be biggest fattest lie of all times. In fact I would be so disapppointed that I could even put you on ignore list

That's why he's considered an under-achiever. I hope the winner of this one, Ferrer/Kyrgios beats him.

 

[mrzz]

Kyrgios ground strokes have improved noticeably. It was complete crap a while ago and now it is decent.

His ROS still quite subpar.

This week Dimi played really good. He might be the favorite here.
